OTL, Dexter Manley Jr.

NFL Draft Central

Did anyone see this?
Apparently Dexter Manley Sr. is off the juice and other substances, and his kid is looking good as a DE at Oregon.
I'd love to see a rerun of Dexter Manley...without a doubt in my mind the best DE ever to grace a Skins uni.

I saw this (or something similiar) a while back on a Saturday Gameday segment. I was thinking how awesome it would be to have "Part II" come to the Skins in a couple of years. Then I thought about what tremendous pressure it would be to walk into Redskin HQ as Dexter Manley Jr. You know everyone will expect him to play as awesome as is dad did.

I actually disagree...I think we'd get nostalgic more than put pressure on him. We'd rather give him a shot and let him fail, then not give him a shot.

It was probably rough having Dex1 as dad. In and out of rehab for years waiting for the next adventure to begin. I still think about Sr periodically. What a shame, shooting star flamed real early. He was SO DAMN GOOD. If we get a guy like that.................look out

Dex1 was on one of the news shows a couple of months ago (I can't remember if it was local or national). Apparently he has always had it. He said it contributed to his erratic behavior, but was also part of the reason he was such a beast on the field.
